not sure what i did wrong, or how to fix it but this is what it said the problems was

a function indefinition is not allowed here before '{' token

final.cpp: In function 'void loop()':

final:47: error: a function-definition is not allowed here before '{' token

final:56: error: expected `}' at end of input

final:56: error: expected `}' at end of input

it highlighted { right after

int getDist()

{

in which i colored in red at the bottom

help would be much appreciated! thanks ahead of time

CODES:

int sharpIR = 1;

int avgFactor =10;    

int value = 0;    // variable to keep the actual value

int greenPin = 11;              // led light green

int yellowPin = 10;        // led light yellow

int redPin = 9; // led light red

boolean lightOn = false;

void setup(void){

  Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop()

{

  int val = getDist();

  Serial.println(val);

  delay(30);

{

  if (value >= 450)  //Turn on LED red if > 500

  {

    analogWrite(redPin, value);

  }

  else if ((value >= 200) && (value < 450))  //Turn on LED yellow-ish if 200 < dist > 500

  {

    analogWrite(yellowPin, value);

  }

  else if (value < 200)  //Turn on LED green if dist < 199

  {

    analogWrite(greenPin, value);

  }

}

{

int getDist()

{

  int runningTotal=0;

  for (int i=0; i < avgFactor; i++)

  {

    int distRead = analogRead(sharpIR);

    runningTotal += distRead;

  }

  int distAvg = (runningTotal / avgFactor);

  return distAvg;

 }

Make sure you close all brackets that you open... What I mean is, for every '{' make sure that you have a '}' somewhere later in the code...

this error is telling you that you need to close void loop() before you define the function getDist()... you have a bracket there, but it needs to be a '}' and not at '{' on the line just above int getDist()

In case you are still stuck at this problem, only brackets {} are messed up somewhere in void loop. Try this. Whenever you move your cursor next to a curly bracket lets say { arduino program will show you the } associated with that as a blue square around the brackets. Vice versa

Move your cursor to every { bracket in void loop and check if arduino points to the other bracket end }. If nothing is pointed out you are missing a }. Then move your cursor to every } and check if  the program points to }. If it doesnt, that } bracket is extra. delete it.

Ah thanks guys good to know. Will find out in a bit. Just got home from work

from what i can see your short 3x } to close out sections.

another nifty tool is that it automatically indents for you when you open a section with { then unindents (is that a word?) when you close a section with }
